Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Pat Leahy, D-Vt., and Senator-elect Jeff Merkeley, D-Ore., spoke against allowing Lieberman keep the Homeland Security and Government Affairs post. Reid, Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and John Kerry, D-Mass., were among those speaking in his favor, according to a Democratic aide requiring anonymity to discuss a private meeting.Some, like Iowan Tom Harkin, still harbor hard feelings for statements Lieberman made during the campaign.
Hopefully. a newly elected Franken will be just as happy with Joe.
